Un vibrante homenaje a la Nueva York de los a?os treinta. Con di?logos afilados como pu?ales y un ritmo efervescente, Normas de cortes?a relata el aprendizaje de una joven ambiciosa que lucha por sobrevivir en la ciudad de las mil caras, una selva donde las mejores oportunidades conviven con infinitas tentaciones y peligros.

En la Nochevieja de 1937, Katey Kontent, mecan?grafa en un bufete de abogados de Wall Street, y Eve Ross, su compa?era de pensi?n, salen dispuestas a exprimir a fondo la libertad que promete Nueva York. Se dirigen a The Hotspot, un bar de tercera fila donde se toman el jazz lo bastante en serio como para que nadie moleste a dos chicas de buen ver, y donde la ginebra es suficientemente barata como para beber un dry martini cada hora. Cuando los tres d?lares que llevaban se agotan, aparece en escena Theodore Tinker Gray, un joven cachorro de la aristocracia de Nueva Inglaterra, luciendo una sonrisa arrebatadora y un abrigo que Katey y Eve no podr?an pagar con sus sueldos de un a?o. Juntos acabar?n celebrando la llegada del a?o nuevo en Times Square, en una noche que marcar? el principio de una amistad que transformar? sus vidas.

Este encuentro fortuito supondr? para Katey el acceso a c?rculos selectos de la sociedad neoyorquina, en los que, gracias a su agudeza, sus nervios de acero y su intelecto, lograr? que se le abran muchas puertas. No obstante, inmersa en un universo resplandeciente, un mundo fr?volo y disoluto habitado por personajes de dudosa procedencia, Katey tendr? que descubrir las reglas del juego para adaptarse a los desaf?os de la gran ciudad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Lincoln Highway and A Gentleman in Moscow, a "sharply stylish" (Boston Globe) book about a young woman in post-Depression era New York who suddenly finds herself thrust into high society--now with over one million readers worldwide

On the last night of 1937, twenty-five-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, happens to sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the upper echelons of New York society--where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve.

With its sparkling depiction of New York's social strata, its intricate imagery and themes, and its immensely appealing characters, Rules of Civility won the hearts of readers and critics alike.
